News for 04/01/2012

In November we have anounced that there was a competitor in the works remember? Well the Tata Nano introduced in 2008 is a small so called budget-car.
Weighing a mere 600 kg and powered by a 624cc two-cylinder producing 38HP it could move 4 people around with with a topspeed of 105km/h.
For a long time it was “The smallest budget-car” around however now things will change, Welcome Bajaj RE60!!
Powered by a pudgy 200cc engine that puts out around 20bhp power, the Bajaj RE60 is now the smallest four-wheeler ever built.
Beside smallest it also is very fuel economic with its 35 kmpl and environmental its very friendly with a CO2 emission of only 60 gm per kilometre which is the lowest in a four wheeler anywhere in the world!!
Unfortunately for the western world this car is yet to be produced and it`s aimed for asia, so for now don`t be afraid your boss will order this as your new company car.

Remember the new stratos project which also in featured in one of TopGear`s episodes?
Well the idea was to build the New Stratos on the chassis of a Ferrari F430 with custom carbon fiber bodywork by Pininfarina however the gentlemen of Maranello were not really happy knowing Ferrari parts were being used for some project and thus ends the story of this project.
Earlier yesterday an email circled around from the owners of the project saying:
“ The reason lies in the attitude of Ferrari CEO Dr. Amedeo Felisa, who opposes the production of other vehicles by companies that work with Ferrari.”
Sadly but true that amazing stratus will not be granted it`s rebirth but were there is loss there is hope!!
Renault jumped in!!! The French manufacturer is considering letting them riff on a Renault Alpine A110 Berlinette for the modern world.
Of course when we know more we keep you updated!!
